TRUST Reactive Dog workshop - Sunday 10th June 18

Is your dog chasing others? (like in the photo!) or is your dog reactive

(barking, growling, snapping) on the leash?

​

Are you walking your dog early in the morning or after dark, in a hope to

avoid seeing other dogs?

Are you at a loss of how to manage the situation?

Would you like a solution? Then this workshop is for you!

​

Pauline has developed this workshop using the knowledge and skills

she has gained throughout her career, but also from her 30+ years

of experience living/working with aggressive dogs and rehabilitating them.

​

TRUST = Using Trust, Respect and Understanding, we can Structure things (life, environment etc) to Teach our dogs a new way of behaving.

​

In this workshop you will learn how to use Classical Conditioning to change emotional responses and how to use operant

conditioning to teach new behaviours. You will also learn about critical distances, triggers, trigger stacking, emergency strategies, the use of approach/retreat,how to train emergency turns and how to play the Look At That (LAT) game.

​

If you would like to participate, there are 6 handler spaces at a price of £80.

If you would like to be a spectator, there are 14 spaces available at a price of £40.

Does your dog listen to you when you are out and about?

​

Do you struggle to maintain his/her attention?

​

Do you feel as though your dog is ignoring you?

​

Does he/she jump up at you or barge past you at doors?

​

Or maybe your dog is hyperactive? Maybe you find it difficult to train

your dog or compete in a sport due to their hyperactivity?

​

​

EPIC - Engagement, Focus and Impulse Control is essential to training. Without it, we could find ourselves with an unruly

dog. There is so much more to training a dog than basic obedience. This workshop demonstrates how impulse control can be taught using a variety of games. It teaches your dog to offer more eye contact (if your dog isn't looking at you, then your dog most likely isn't listening to you). You will learn how to motivate your dog without over-exciting your dog. These principles will in turn help improve your dogs recall and loose lead walking in the real world, as your dog is more likely to pay attention! If you participate in agility, then this workshop will help your dog pay attention in a stimulating environment.

​

If you would like to participate, there are 12 handler spaces at a price of £70.

If you would like to be a spectator, there are 8 spaces available at a price of £40.
